Over the past few days, IDF-Hezbollah fire has seen escalation, with heavy artillery and air strikes between the two fighters.

According to information gathered by AFP, at least 458 Lebanese have been killed by Zionist attacks, of which some 90 were civilians.

The Islamic resistance in Lebanon carries out the attacks in support of the Palestinian people and in rejection of Tel Aviv’s genocidal attitudes against Gazan civilians.
